For Hansel and Gretel

The Rescue Balloon—An inflatable aid for adventurers who find themselves lost in the woods while searching for ancient artifacts. Ha, Indiana Jones scoffs at you!

Designer Jaeseok Han wasn’t fooling around when he created this compact kit — intended for hikers who get lost or injured in the wilderness and need to signal aerial search teams. It comes complete with a small, lightweight helium gas cylinder and a long, inflatable red balloon that can peer out from the tree canopy and flag down appreciative rescue workers.

Alternatively, give up hope and start scratching your last will and testament into a tree trunk. That’s what I would do. Or, oh I dunno, put a bear in a chock-hold until it points me to the nearest town! Then steal its honey. Now I know what you’re thinking, “Ooooh, that’s just wrong!” But if you think that’s cold you should see my nipples. F***ing diamond cutters over here.

Oh yes, and a special thanks to Brad for recommending this to me for never been lost a day in his life except for the time at the Disney World when he lost sight of her parents and was found by Goofy huddled under a park bench. Jesus, that sounds traumatic. Haha, why are you crying?
